Sorry for the late reply.....i agree with Jon the 430/430W does not have a mode where you can monitor two VOR's. Pleased to see that you have had success with it.
We had a number of issues with our GNS430, Dynons and HS34 not talking to each other all resolved with the set up of the 430 and Dynons pretty much straight forward. If you need any specific help with the set up just let me know.

Have great New Year

Mark

I am thinking that the 200 bucks for the Garmin Flite charts on the 796 might be the way to go for me now, instead of Foreflight for 150 bucks a year. (75 +75), on the IPAD.
Nice panel! I was thinking along the very same lines for my new 8A. Q: does the AP74 / 430 setup fly the vertical on GPS approaches, or do you have to control altitude?

The Dynon AP does not currently couple to the vertical on any approach (yet ).

It will however hold a pre-set vertical speed when moving from the current to a different selected altitude. I have tested it with normal glide slope angles and it will pretty much stay right on target all the way down if you just move the altitude bug to the decision height. This is not the same as a coupled approach however....
